I just finished vinyl wrapping my ride and decided it was time to take some pics. Enjoy!

I personally liked the gloss black better, but I know I'm not with the "in-crowd" that digs the road warrior look....and you definitely have that going on...it's a real nice ride nonetheless!! Great job with it!

Looks awesome dude!! Two things I personally dont like are the tips and the side moldings.. Other than that, completely badass!

pwdbychevy

Thanks guys, I wanted to remove the side moldings but the drivers side has some rust underneath so I left them on.

Your car is a little busy, but when totally flat-blacked out like that it tones it down and makes it all work REALLY well I think. I think you're on to something there.

I kept thinking about trying to wrap mine, but I figured it would be a nightmare to try to wrap a car like this. Things like the ground fx scoops and the bumper cover seem pretty frustrating. But maybe it's not as bad as it seems?

Also whats the story with that road being blocked off like that? That's pretty weird.

pwdbychevy

The road is a dead end and people were going back there to dump garbage so they blocked it off. I took all the ground effects off to wrap them. For me it was easier. If I had to do it again I would wrap the front and rear bumpers with them on the car. It was kinda hard to keep the thing from moving around on you on a table with one hand on the wrap and the other on the heat gun.

Not a fan of the FLAT look, but yours does look NASTY. How did you get the GAS DOOR to look like a factory item, and how did you attach it? Any mods to do to it and where did you buy it and how much?

pwdbychevy

It's attached with two part epoxy. The gas door is from a Bullitt Mustang and I paid about $80 on ebay. Only mod I had to do was trim back the factory plastic filler neck a little and shaved a few of the mounting bolts from the mustang door since you cant really use those on the car.

im sorry im dumb on the subject but, what is vinyl wrapping?

iTrader: (12)

It's like a big sticker....people put it on to change the color with out having to paint or it ...

Since its a huge sticker how much hp does it add?

pwdbychevy

My buddy that owns an import with stickers says lots and lots

Cool pix, i dig the satin black wrap, looks very mean

sidwyz

Awesome car man!! Can u tell me where you got that spoiler from? And is it adjustable

pwdbychevy

Thanks! Spoiler I got from American Sports Car Design when I first bought the car in 92. I don't believe they sell it anymore. The wing can be adjusted front to back a little bit.

Wow thats a wrap? You did a great job! Not a fan of the spoiler or hood but your car looks really nice in that flat black wrap. It must have taken a long time to get it perfect like that.

sidwyz

Either way still very cool. And I sure u get a lot of crap about that wing lol. I've been looking for something super low and adjustable like that. But I didn't wanna spend the money before knowing what it looks like. I love it. I do a lot of highway driving so I think it'll save money. Plus I want to get into autox so I think it will prove useful there as well. Has that roof spoiler shown any gains?

Car still looking terrific pwdbychevy.

pwdbychevy

The roof spoiler is more for looks than anything. Comments on the wing are about 70-30--70% being in favor. I like it :-)

pwdbychevy

Thanks :-)

hows the wrap holding up man looks good!! im one who has plastidipped the whole car i do like that flatblack

pwdbychevy

The wrap is holding up pretty good so far

Ultra mr me

SO GLAD I found this. I have been on the fence about wrapping my 87 Camaro. The paint is faded and sun damaged from it sitting for 10 years when I bought it. After a lot of TLC it runs great and I love it. The paint is terrible though.

I haven't been able to find too many pictures of a matte black Camaro. Yours is BEAUTIFUL. I'm definitely going to wrap my car. It'll look good and it'll let me save up for a new paint job.

Any advice? What I need? Hardest places? Easiest places?

Linson

is it me or does the hood not match the rest of the body (color-wise, I mean)? and is it functional?

love the gas cap.

just a thought, the way the car is Mad Max Murdered Out like that, i'm thinking that the factory-style louvers for the back glass would be somehow "tougher" or "meaner" looking.

pwdbychevy

The hood is wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl. Thats why it looks different.

pwdbychevy

The color is actually satin black instead of matte black. Scratches show up more with matte black. The hardest parts on the car to wrap were the front and rear bumpers because of the curves. If I had to do it again I would do them in sections with the help of a second person to hold the heat gun. I would say a 45ft roll will be enough to do the entire car.

Sam L.

I have the same hood and i love it!!! Your car looks really agressive and track ready,now go eat them mustangs up!!!!!

pwdbychevy

Mustangs and imports taste like chicken..

Sam L.

Ya they sure do!!! You ever raced a viper?

pwdbychevy

I haven't raced a viper yet but I have raced a gixxer 1000 and won by a couple car lemgths

Freysch!!!

Linson

sure wouldn't mind seein' an under-hood pic.

pwdbychevy

This is a pic from a while back with the ac still installed. I'll post an updated one later.

Linson

nice. i'd say the overall look of the car is much improved with that vinyl wrap. looks like a new paint job - and in your case satin > gloss.

seems like it wouldnt be too hard to make that hood functional.

sidwyz

Really?! A couple car lengths against a 1kcc ?? WOOWW!! what else is goin on under there???

pwdbychevy

220 shot of nitrous won me the race :-D

sidwyz

Aaahhhaaa. I never driven a car with nitrous. But that sounds insane! Wish I had all forged internals :-(

pwdbychevy

Imagine standing there minding your own business and somebody shoves you from behind. That's almost what it feels like.

Very nice looking car, and a great story line.

pwdbychevy

Here's an Underhood shot from this morning and shot of the garage.

Linson

some simple rattle can flat black will do wonders for your wiper arms and that screen thingy. like better than new.

Ultra mr me

Looking at the car more I'm wondering how you got your blinkers to look dark instead of the normal orange. Thanks

Myfirstconvert

Car **** at it's finest!!!!!

Myfirstconvert

Awesome!!

sidwyz

Hahahah when u put it that way....maybe I'll risk it :-D
